Es sind bereits verschiedene thermoplastische Formmassen bekannt, die aufgrund ihres Gehalts an elektrisch leitfähigem Ruß eine ausreichende elektrische Leitfähigkeit besitzen, um Formkörper mit befriedigenden elektrischen Eigenschaften herstellen zu können. Diese Formmassen müssen jedoch einen sehr hohen Rußgehalt aufweisen, damit die aus ihnen hergestellten Formkörper die gewünschten elektrischen Eigenschaften erhalten. Ein derart hoher Rußanteil führt aber in der Regel bei der Formmasse zu deutlich verminderten mechanischen Eigenschaften.Various thermoplastic molding compositions are already known which, owing to their content of electrically conductive carbon black, have sufficient electrical conductivity in order to be able to produce moldings with satisfactory electrical properties. However, these molding compositions must have a very high carbon black content so that the molded articles made from them obtain the desired electrical properties. However, such a high proportion of soot generally leads to significantly reduced mechanical properties in the molding composition.

Es sind aus der unter (1) zitierten US-PS Mischungen unverträglicher Thermoplaste bekannt, wobei einem der beiden Thermoplasten vor dem Misch­vorgang Ruß zugemischt wurde. Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit und die mechanische Qualität solcher Mischungen lassen jedoch zu wünschen übrig.Mixtures of incompatible thermoplastics are known from the US patent cited under (1), carbon black being added to one of the two thermoplastics before the mixing process. However, the electrical conductivity and the mechanical quality of such mixtures leave something to be desired.

In (2) sind rußhaltige Mischungen zweier unverträglicher Thermoplaste beschrieben, die durch einen Gehalt eines Mischungsvermittlers gekennzeichnet sind und ausreichende mechanische Qualitäten aufweisen.In (2) carbon black-containing mixtures of two incompatible thermoplastics are described, which are characterized by the content of a compounding agent and have sufficient mechanical qualities.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine rußhaltige thermo­plastische Formmasse mit weiter verbesserten mechanischen Eigenschaften herzustellen.The object of the invention is therefore to produce a soot-containing thermoplastic molding composition with further improved mechanical properties.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Formmasse gemäß Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by a molding composition according to claim 1.

Die Erfindung betrifft daher eine elektrisch leitende thermoplastische Formmasse enthaltend, jeweils bezogen auf die Formmasse aus A+B+C,

  • B      1 bis 30 Gew.% Ruß und
  • C      1 bis 30 Gew.% eines Polymerisates.

  • A 40 to 98% by weight of at least one polymer containing styrene and / or substituted styrene,

Als Komponente A der erfindungsgemäßen Formmasse kommen Homopolymerisate oder Copolymerisate von Styrol mit einem der eng verwandten, insbesondere methylsubstituierten Styrole in Frage, in denen ein Methylrest als Substituent am aromatischen Ring oder an der Seitenkette vorhanden ist. Hier ist vor allem p-Methylstyrol zu erwähnen. Diese Copolymerisate können aus den bekannten Mengenverhältnissen Styrol bzw. substituiertem Styrol in an sich bekannter Weise hergestellt werden. Als Styrolpolymerisate kommen ferner Pfropfmischpolymerisate in Frage, die durch Polymerisation von Styrol oder substituiertem Styrol in Gegenwart eines Kautschuks, z.B. eines Butadienpolymerisats oder kautschukartigen Styrol-Butadien-Copoly­merisats, hergestellt werden. Der Polybutadiengehalt kann, bezogen auf A, 3 bis 20 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 5 bis 12 Gew.%, betragen. Der Kautschuk liegt dabei fein dispergiert in einer als Hartmatrix bezeichneten Polystyrol­phase vor. Die Herstellung derartiger schlagfester Polystyrole ist dem Fachmann bekannt.

Die Viskositätszahl der Komponente A soll im Bereich von 60 bis 120 ml/g (0,5 %ig in Toluol bei 23°C) liegen.As component A of the molding composition according to the invention, homopolymers or copolymers of styrene with one of the closely related, in particular methyl-substituted styrenes, in which a methyl radical is present as a substituent on the aromatic ring or on the side chain, are suitable. P-Methylstyrene should be mentioned here in particular. These copolymers can from the known ratios of styrene or substituted styrene in be produced in a manner known per se. Other suitable styrene polymers are graft copolymers which are prepared by polymerizing styrene or substituted styrene in the presence of a rubber, for example a butadiene polymer or rubber-like styrene-butadiene copolymer. The polybutadiene content, based on A, can be 3 to 20% by weight, preferably 5 to 12% by weight. The rubber is finely dispersed in a polystyrene phase called a hard matrix. The production of such impact-resistant polystyrenes is known to the person skilled in the art.

All of these products are commercially available.

Komponente BComponent B

Als Ruß im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung soll mikrokristalliner, fein­teiliger Kohlenstoff verstanden werden (vgl. Kunststofflexikon, 7. Aufl. 1980).For the purposes of the present invention, carbon black is to be understood to mean microcrystalline, finely divided carbon (cf. plastic dictionary, 7th edition, 1980).

Als geeignet seien die Ofenruße, Acetylenruße, Gasruße sowie die durch thermische Herstellung erhältlichen Thermalruße genannt.The furnace blacks, acetylene blacks, gas blacks and the thermal blacks obtainable by thermal production may be mentioned as suitable.

Die Teilchengrößen liegen vorzugsweise im Bereich von 0,01 bis 0,1 µm und die Oberflächen im Bereich von 10² bis 10⁴ m²/g (BET/ASTM D 3037) bei DBP-Absorptionen von 10² bis 10³ ml/100 g (ASTM D 2414).The particle sizes are preferably in the range from 0.01 to 0.1 μm and the surfaces in the range from 10² to 10⁴ m² / g (BET / ASTM D 3037) with DBP absorptions of 10² to 10³ ml / 100 g (ASTM D 2414 ).

Komponente CComponent C

Als Komponente C der erfindungsgemäßen Formmasse kommen Polyvinylalkyl­ether mit 1 bis 4 C-Atomen im Alkylrest oder Mischungen von Polyvinyl­alkylethern in Frage. Bevorzugt wird Polyvinylmethylether oder Polyvinyl­ethylether. Das Molekulargewicht (Gewichtsmittel) der Polyvinylalkylether liegt im Bereich von 20.000 bis 200.000, vorzugsweise von 40.000 bis 80.000.As component C of the molding composition according to the invention are polyvinyl alkyl ethers with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical or mixtures of polyvinyl alkyl ethers. Polyvinyl methyl ether or polyvinyl ethyl ether is preferred. The weight average molecular weight of the polyvinyl alkyl ethers is in the range from 20,000 to 200,000, preferably from 40,000 to 80,000.

Komponente DComponent D

Die erfindungsgemäße Formmasse kann als Komponente D Zusatzstoffe enthalten, die für die Komponenten A, B und C typisch und gebräuchlich sind. Als solche Zusatzstoffe seien beispielsweise genannt: Füllstoffe, Farbstoffe, Pigmente, Antistatika, Antioxidantien, auch Flammschutzmittel und insbesondere die Schmiermittel, die für die Weiterverarbeitung der Formmasse, z.B. bei der Herstellung von Formkörpern bzw. Formteilen erforderlich sind.The molding composition according to the invention can contain, as component D, additives which are typical and customary for components A, B and C. Examples of such additives are: fillers, dyes, pigments, antistatic agents, antioxidants, also flame retardants and in particular the lubricants used for the further processing of the molding composition, e.g. are required in the production of moldings or moldings.

Weiterhin können als Komponente D zusätzlich zu den bei der Komponente A zugelassenen Kautschuken und Pfropfmischpolymerisaten Schlagzähmodifier eingesetzt werden. So kann Komponente D mindestens ein Styrol und Butadien bzw. Isopren enthaltendes Blockcopolymerisat darstellen. Dies kann selektiv hydriert sein, so daß die vom Dien stammenden Doppelbindungen zu mehr als 90 % abgesättigt sind. Diese Blockcopolymerisate können durch lineare Zweiblockcopolymerisate oder deren Kopplungsprodukte, die stern­förmig verzweigten Blockcopolymerisate, repräsentiert werden, wobei letztere mono- oder polymodal aufgebaut sein können.Furthermore, impact modifiers can be used as component D in addition to the rubbers and graft copolymers approved for component A. Component D can thus represent at least one block copolymer containing styrene and butadiene or isoprene. This can be selectively hydrogenated so that the double bonds originating from the diene are saturated to more than 90%. These block copolymers can be represented by linear two-block copolymers or their coupling products, the star-branched block copolymers, the latter being mono- or polymodal.

Besonders geeignet können Blockcopolymerisate aus der Gruppe der linearen Butadien-Styrol-Zweiblockcopolymerisate mit verschmiertem Übergang, der linearen Isopren-Styrol-Zweiblockcopolymerisate und der radialen Butadien-­Styrol-Blockcopolymeren sein, wobei diese 60 bis 35 Gew.% Styrol (Rest Dien) bei Gesamtmolekulargewichten im Bereich von 40.000 bis 250.000 enthalten.Block copolymers from the group of the linear butadiene-styrene two-block copolymers with smeared transition, the linear isoprene-styrene two-block copolymers and the radial butadiene-styrene block copolymers can be particularly suitable, these being 60 to 35% by weight of styrene (remainder diene) in the case of total molecular weights included in the range of 40,000 to 250,000.

Die Komponente D kann insbesondere auch ein lineares, aus Styrol und Butadien bestehendes, Blockcopolymerisat mit verschmiertem Übergang darstellen, das in an sich bekannter Weise selektiert hydriert worden ist, wobei lediglich die vom Monomerenbaustein Butadien herrührenden Doppel­bindungen zu mehr als 90 %, insbesondere zu mehr als 97 %, abgesättigt werden. Derartige Verfahren zur Hydrierung sind an sich bekannt und können z.B. nach dem in der DE-OS 27 48 884 beschriebenen Verfahren durchgeführt werden.Component D can in particular also be a linear block copolymer consisting of styrene and butadiene with a smeared transition, which has been hydrogenated in a manner known per se, only the double bonds originating from the butadiene monomer component being more than 90%, in particular more than 97%, are saturated. Such hydrogenation processes are known per se and can e.g. be carried out by the method described in DE-OS 27 48 884.

Wesentlich für den Aufbau des in Rede stehenden Blockcopolymerisats vor der Hydrierung ist, daß der Gesamtstyrolgehalt des Blockcopolymerisats im Bereich von 40 bis 60 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 50 bis 55 Gew.%, bezogen auf D, liegt, und daß 5 bis 25 Gew.% des Blockcopolymerisats D als Blockpoly­styrol vorliegen und der Rest des Styrols in 60 b is 40 Gew.%, vorzugs­weise 50 bis 45 Gew.% Butadien, statistisch eingebaut vorliegt, wobei das Blockcopolymerisat D ein mittleres Molekulargewicht (Gewichtsmittel) von 50.000 bis 200.000, vorzugsweise 75.000 bis 150.000 aufweist.It is essential for the structure of the block copolymer in question before the hydrogenation that the total styrene content of the block copolymer is in the range from 40 to 60% by weight, preferably 50 to 55% by weight, based on D, and that 5 to 25% by weight. % of the block copolymer D is in the form of block polystyrene and the rest of the styrene in 60 to 40% by weight, preferably 50 to 45% by weight of butadiene, is statistically incorporated, the block copolymer D having an average molecular weight (weight average) of 50,000 to 200,000, preferably 75,000 to 150,000.

Die Herstellung derartiger Blockcopolymerisate ist an sich bekannt und erfolgt durch anionische Polymerisation von Mischungen aus Butadien und Styrol in Gegenwart von Li-alkylinitiatoren und von allerdings nur geringen Mengen an THF (am besten ohne THF). Sie können z.B. nach dem in der DE-OS 31 06 959 beschriebenen Verfahren hergestellt werden, wobei insbesondere adiabatisch in einer Verfahrensstufe gearbeitet wird (Beispiel 2).The preparation of such block copolymers is known per se and is carried out by anionic polymerization of mixtures of butadiene and styrene in the presence of Li-alkyl initiators and, however, only small amounts of THF (preferably without THF). You can e.g. can be produced by the process described in DE-OS 31 06 959, with adiabatic operation being carried out in one process step (example 2).
